Roleplay As Cultivator
11: Hunting Lizardfolk (1)

Tian Jie looked at the lizardfolk who were walking over from the direction of the river. He was taking into account the possibilities that could occur from the mission he was currently receiving.

‘would I let that lizardfolk go for now and let itself drive us to his other group ?’

‘but I don't know how strong this lizardfolk group is and the person they call prince’

Tian Jie pondered for a moment then he walked over and whispered to Huang Qingyue.

“You must follow my instructions do not act rashly and move alone”

“for now focus on healing your wounds first”

“I'll take care of that lizard man first”

Huang Qingyue nodded her head.

“good lord Tian”

Tian Jie slightly frowned, he was not used to being called master. That name made him a little horrified.

“please don't call me by the name of master !”

“My life is not much different from your age”

“Just call me by my name only”

Huang Qingyue was a little hesitant - hesitant to call Tian Jie.

“K-then I'll call brother Tian ku”

Tian Jie smiled and nodded.

“yap, just like it used to be”

Huang Qingyue sat down cross-legged to start healing herself from her injuries.

Tian Jie hid the short sword behind his body and started preparing the spell for the surprise attack.

‘will I end with one strike’

‘than anything happens if I follow this lizardfolk, it is better to reduce contact with the target and look for surprise attack opportunities’

‘i can also escape if it turns out their group is stronger’

Lizardfolk walked closer slowly, his face looking more relieved as it washed his head with river water. Although Tian Jie let out a strong bullying momentum but he thought Tian Jie could still be invited to do business. He never thought that Tian Jie had already prepared a rhino attack.

Tian Jie waited for the lizardfolk to get as close as possible before making an impromptu attack. As soon as the distance of the lizardfolk to himself was approximately ten meters, Tian Jie cast a spell with his short sword.

“True Strike (1)”

As soon as the spell true strike was cast, Tian Jie's vision became shaded. Then he saw two shadows of himself attacking the Lizardfolk. He observed the two movements of the attack.

‘So it feels like using true strike’

‘These two attacks are a picture of two possibilities that will happen if I do a’ attack

‘The original effect of spell true strike will give advantage to the attack to be done’

‘and advantage itself means rolling the dice twice and using the best results’

‘the concept is very similar, but not this like a future view even for just one attack’

‘yah, this means I stay following the attack movement of this shadow right?’

Tian Jie prepared himself to make a move.

Lizardfolk was already in front of Tian Jie, he put on a smiling professional face even though he could not describe how the lizardfolk smile formed with his lizard head.

“Master, let me drive to pange-” place

His voice stopped instantly, his face was shocked, and his body was hot as well as heavy to move. He looked at the man in front of him, then his gaze began to decline towards his body. Currently he was stuck in a short sword until it penetrated backwards. The short sword slightly let out a red flame that was burning hot.

“Arcane strike - Create flame (cantrip 0)”

Tian Jie silently did not say anything and just stared at the lizardfolk in front of him.

He whipped out his short sword and swung it to the side to splash the blood that was on the blade of the sword.

Blood started to gush from the lizardfolk's chest and then he fell. The face of the lizardfolk was still shocked not knowing what had just happened.

The attack from Tian Jie was deadly for this lizardfolk. No sound or movement is free. Thanks to the effects of a true strike spell, the attacks he performed were extremely fast and effective.

‘I didn't think the effect would be like this’

‘Spell true strike on trpg I used to play not too flashy’

‘I only use it to make sure my next attack will not miss if against a difficult enemy hit by a’ attack

‘But here, this spell can show the results of my future attacks and let me choose the best results’

Tian Jie stared at the short sword in his hand for quite a while while evaluating his spell.

Huang Qingyue looked at Tian Jie's attack from the side. He could confirm that Tian Jie was only one cultivation level above him with spiritual energy released when the attack was carried out. But he was surprised by the impact of his attack.

‘ fire sword attack earlier managed to defeat lizardfolk with one strike!?’

‘even if it does not lead to the vital part, the attack earlier will give a big impact wound’

‘what technique is it ? he released spiritual energy and suddenly his attack had hit the lizard man’

‘doesn't that be too fast’

He was very confident that Tian Jie was still at the spiritual condensation level, but the attacks he had carried out were like spiritual foundation level techniques. Huang Qingyue had once seen her teacher demonstrate one of the attack techniques a spiritual foundation level could execute, and Tian Jie had attacks that were almost as fast and powerful as his teacher's attacks.

Tian Jie put the short sword in his hand into the sword sheath. He then approached Huang Qingyue.

“Do you have some kind of healing medicine?”

Huang Qingyue : ”I've taken one just now, the effect is not too fast as it is just an ordinary healing pill”

Tian Jie : “Then you focus on healing your condition first, I will go briefly prepare something”

Huang Qingyue nodded : “Thank you, brother Tian”

Tian Jie : “Don't thank me first, there are still many things to do”

Huang Qingyue could only smile and nod in agreement with Tian Jie's words. He went back cross-legged to heal himself.

Looking at Huang Qingyue who had already quite recovered Tian Jie also smiled. Tian Jie then went to look for a certain plant within the forest. Not long around inside the forest, he managed to find a plant similar to a mint tree.

“Hmm, this looks very similar to the mint leaves that are on earth”

“does this also ward off snakes yes ?”

“The characteristic aroma of mint leaves is disliked by snakes on earth and can be used for deter”

“I don't know if lizardfolk will also stay away from the smell of these leaves but it can at least be used to hide the smell of other”

Tian Jie picked up the many wild leaves and carried them to the riverbank. Then he put it on a sunken rock. He picked up another stone and began to grind it while mixed with water. After a sufficient amount of green solution was formed he put it into a water container within his spatial ring.

“I hope this herb will work correctly”

“If not, the surprise attack plan in my dark tonight will fail”

“Very troublesome against them directly”

Tian Jie moved back to where Huang Qingyue was.

In his brain he was planning a scenario that would be done to hunt the lizardfolk - the lizardfolk. He was sure the other lizardfolk herd was not far from this location. He also hoped they would look for the lizardfolk he killed so he wouldn't bother looking for them.

“well, I hope they will really come closer”

“I will prepare an interesting surprise for them”

Tian Jie walked slowly, a wide smile on his face was seen.
